Not that anon but here's a little perspective. Pepsi paid $1,000,000 for this design. There are people in the world with a very refined taste in aesthetics, they know what looks good and why it looks good. They know what the public will find aesthetically pleasing. These people are usually artists who have worked their whole lives in the field where they've studied and refined their tastes.

The problem with a lot of vtubers, and as another example furries and their OCs, is that they're not artists and they've never devolved their sense of aesthetics. Vtubers fall for this trap that your vtuber model should be designed by you to represent your inner most personality or some shit. Yeah, no don't do that unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

If you want examples of a good design, look at popular anime and video games. Which characters appeal to you? What do you think is the reason their design is appealing? For me I've always thought Chie from Persona 4 had an amazing design. The haircut is simple, the rest of the outfit is a generic school girl outfit. Her design should be boring as fuck. But the green jacket as the statement piece in her outfit, it stands out visuallt and ties everything together extremely well and makes her a god tier waifu.

Another example would be Aqua and Megumin from Konosuba. Their strengths are their color schemes. Aqua's outfit is mostly blue and white with yellow and aquamarine accents. Megumin is most red and brown with yellow and white accents. Aqua's eyes are also shades of blue, similar to one of the main colors of her outfit. Same with Megumin and the brown and red for her hair and eyes.

tl;dr If you want to make a good character design, you need to gain a deeper understanding of the designs you like and why they appeal to you.
